Foiled again.

It's starting to take hold.

I just hope they can get rid of the Huntington hop.

It's a nice video on SUP Foiling. What surprised me was how the short the boards were, but a few of the riders looked very young so that might have had something to do with it.

To watch the video, all I did was click on the blue box with "watch on vimeo" and the video started playing when I clicked on the blue start button in the vimeo video.

I'm using the 64 bit linux Mint 17.3 operating system using the 64 bit linux Pale Moon browser.

Can't get enough.  I think we need to see more of how they catch the waves. 

Interestingly at the end Zane comes off the plane and the board is incredibly stable.  I hadn't thought about it before but that mast would mean you need a lot less width in the board.  Like adding a balancing stick  ::)

In non-planing conditions, the foil does add substantial stability...lots of tipping resistance...think lever arm...once it's hydroplaning, however...there will be a wide spectrum of stability being experienced by the rider caused by foil to foil differentials...

what gets me is the wave they are riding is so small and hasn't even peaked up really   That is pretty cool
